Capcom-unity has announced that Spyborgs has offically gone gold: With the almighty thumbs up from Nintendo for both North American and European versions, Spyborgs is officially approved and off to manufacturing. Factory line robots are weeping tears of joy as they begin pressing and packaging these cyberneticly enhanced Wii discs. Never has one looked so good. A little over-the-top, perhaps. Was anyone really waiting for his announcement? ...Well, maybe I was.  I like speedy characters, too, usually. Powerhouses are too slow for my liking (works that way in fighters for me, too). Sometimes I do go with the averaged character, though. I can usually adapt to any type of character. It's just that the speed characters suite my playing style more. The only power character I can think of that actually bothers me a little is Donatello in TMNT: Turtles in Time on SNES. Mainly because he's practically a sitting duck against Slash. |

Slash is a beast. XD
Good to hear it's gone gold. ^_^ If you pick it up, I'd love impressions.

Capcom-unity has announced a contest to create official Spyborgs wallpaper. The winner will get a free copy of the game, an autographed copy of the Spyborgs comic, and 3000 Unity points. Entries are due by August 14. I think I might take a shot at this. Not that I'm skilled at such things, or have any chance at winning, but it sounds like fun! |

Wallpaper contests...maybe I'll give it a shot, too. Haven't made one for a while.

Watched a clip of the game in action...looked very nice indeed. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it.

Capcom-unity has a new trailer and screenshots for Spyborgs that show off the upgrades you can buy for the characters, which includes some cool looking armor.

According to Kotaku, Spyborgs' release is actually being moved up a week, from September 29 to 22. And in promotion, Capcom has released the first episode of a Spyborgs web series, which you can view at the link above. Pretty cool! I guess the game hasn't completely abandoned it's Saturday morning cartoon origins.  EDIT: The Spyborgs Official Website has been revamped, and includes the aforementioned webisodes. It also includes a lot of story and character information, and it seems that a digital comic is on the way, as well. Worth checking out.

3-Hit Cyber Combo!!! Capcom-unity reports that IGN has video footage of a new boss. These boss fights look epic! This one almost looks like something from a Metroid Prime game. |

This game looks very fun indeed. I don't think I'll have the money to pick it up at launch, but it's definitely on my list of games I want.

I watched the boss trailer you posted, and I agree - a very nice Prime vibe came from that clip. Reminded me of a fight in Beyond Good & Evil, too. Very good comparisons!

Here's the Gamescon trailer. It's mostly just a gameplay montage, but it shows some new environments we haven't seen before. |

Here are a couple of lengthy interviews with Capcom's Daryl Allison. The first is from Nintendo World Report, and a lot of the questions sound like setups for PR spiel. But it's worth skimming thru. The other is from 4 Color Rebellion, which asks some very intelligent, in-depth questions, but Allison mostly sticks to his "Spyborgs is awesome, Bionic Games pwns" mantra. Still, it's worth looking over, and Allison even claims that the Wii version of Okami sold very well. |

IGN has new footage featuring a classic staple of beat-em-ups: an elevator level. They also go out of their way to interview Daryl Allison and Mike Stout about it: IGN: Elevator level. Integral to an awesome action game?
Allison: Absolutely! Any good old-school, arcade action game has to have a good elevator level, as do any modern brawlers who truly want to pay tribute to the classics. A well done elevator level is right up there with a sewer level, a lava level, and a fight on a train (and yes, of course, Spyborgs has one of each of these as well). You see them in many classics from Mega Man to Double Dragon. There's just something really awesome about beating up hordes of bad guys on a moving platform while watching the scenery scroll by. |

I like speedy characters, too, usually. Powerhouses are too slow for my liking (works that way in fighters for me, too). Sometimes I do go with the averaged character, though.
